3. Cinematographer style (1 DVD)
Cinematographer Style is about the art of how and why films
look the way they do. It is about the influence of style, technique
and technology-the art and craft of filmmaking.
Cinematographer Style is a feature documentary exploring
the nuances of the universal art of visual story-telling. Director
Jon Fauer, ASC visited with 110 cinematographers from
15 countries, who have worked in all sectors of the industry,
including feature films, television, documentaries, commercials
and music videos. Shot on 35mm film, the interviews
were edited down to a 90-minute story.
The lesson that this film teaches is that there is no textbook
and no rules for artful cinematography. It is an art-like painting,
writing literature or composing music. No two artists express
themselves in exactly the same way. This is a must-see
film for writers, directors, producers, actors and others who
collaborate with cinematographers, and also for journalists
and film buffs. It will provide valuable insights into the art of
cinematography and filmmaking. The body language, animated
facial expressions and eyes of 110 great storytellers projected
on a big screen in order to fully appreciate the words and deeply held feelings about their art. ARRI,
Kodak, Technicolor, and many other organizations and individuals volunteered their support and services.

7. DV Enlightenment (9 dvd’S)
People are always asking, 'How do I make my
video look more like film?'..... well for starters,
light it like film, that is to say, light it professionally.
I have been a still photographer all my life
and I can tell you that it is all about light. So many
people pick up a camera, turn on auto-exposure,
set white balance and start shooting away, totally
unaware of the fact that they are neglecting one
of the most important elements of composing a
scene, lighting. It is lighting that adds mood and
character, time and place, depth and tone, light is
an actor in your story, a most important actor at
that.
DV Enlightenment is the first tutorial from
DVcreators.net's new DV Cinematography series and is a complete course in Professional lighting for the
beginner, for people ready to learn the art of lighting. If you sit down with this 55 minute tutorial you are
going to come away with an excellent understanding of lighting, not just the basics of lighting but how to use
light to help tell your story. You will be surprised to learn what you can do with light, how to do it, how easy
it is to employ the lessons of this tutorial and what a huge difference it will make in your finished story. Bad
or even just ordinary lighting is something that can not be fixed or enhanced in post production, it must be
done right at the time of shooting.
This tutorial starts off with 'Light Essentials', a basic primer on light and then moves on to the four main
sections: Four Point Lighting, Working with Sunlight, Lighting Green screen/White/Black Backgrounds,
and Bright Ideas.

10. The Cutting Edge - The Magic of Movie Editing
This documentary is precisely what it's title purports to be, an in-depth and
instructive look at movie editing that literally spans 100 years of film history,
from The Great Train Robbery to Cold Mountain. Through interviews with
a copious number of directors and editors, The Cutting Edge covers everything
from basic editing techniques like the matching of cuts to modern editing
theory as inspired by MTV and The Matrix. The film goes into extreme
detail in parts, like when we get to see James Cameron's trick of removing
one frame per second out of Terminator 2 to give it more momentum and
realism. It's all a little bit insidery and self-congratulatory, but the movie works
far more often than not. Any film buff will find it hard not to like.

16. Kodak - Shooting For Fantasy
French cinematographer Denis Lenoir (Monsieur Hire, Paris Awakes,
Shuttlecock Zone) and Sacha Vierny (Hiroshima Mon, Amour,
Prospero's Books, Stavisky) explore the world of cinematic fantasy
and magic. Vierny generously shares one of his special secrets, shoeing
how to create a magical beam of light without the usual need for a
smoked filled room. The effect is electric. Lenoir takes you through
each step of his lighting design and also gives invaluable information
about the use of fluorescent lights. This program explores the techniques
that make magic on the screen, but more importantly the
cinematographer's creative thought process behind the magic.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: Lenoir demonstrates the ability of one
special effect to hide another and how to combine several effects to
create magic.
17. Kodak - Shooting For Realism
Allen Daviau (E.T., The Color Purple, Empire Of The Sun) and Sacha
Vierny (Hiroshima mon Amour; The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and
Her Lover, Prospero's Books) are given the same script and set. Daviau
creates a series of intricate setups, clearly explaining each problem he
encounters and the solutions he finds by using filters, lights and F-stops
changes. Vierny experiments with a simple and elegant camera move
that encompasses much of the action but presents him with a new
challenge: hiding the dolly track. Computer graphics of the lighting setups
as well as side-by-side comparisons of the finished scenes help
you to better understand the techniques and appreciate the results.
18. Kodak - Studio Lighting
Two internationally renowned cinematographers light the same shots
from the same dramatic script in this back-to-back workshop. Don
McAlpine (Patriot Games, Breaker Morant, My Brilliant Career) and
Denis Lenoir (Monsieur Hire, Clear and Present Danger, Mrs.
Doubtfire) vividly demonstrate how differences in creative style and
approach affect the impact and tone of the scene. This program is
packed with technical information, demonstrations & insights into the
role of the
19. Kodak - Location Lighting
Location lighting, utilizing the equipment one truck can carry, is
the most common task a young cinematographer will face. Geoff
Burton (The Year My Voice Broke, Flirting, Wide Sargasso Sea)
condenses his many years of location lighting experience in this
highly practical and useful workshop. Geoff's approach emphasizes
maximum use of natural lighting resources (daylight and
practical) and imitating these sources with the light he adds. Geoff
shows how to work with the limitations of locations space and
design (in this case three rooms of a cramped apartment) rather
than against them. He demonstrates how fast stocks and fast
work can be critical to success.
20. KODAK - What is Cinematography
This interactive, educational CD-ROM provides a detailed description
of the cinematographer’s tools and their application in the art
of filmmaking. The course is broken into four key components and
a glossary of terms, each section ends with a self-check exercise.
Topics covered include:* Cinematography Overview
* Cinematography During Pre-Production
* Cinematography During Production
* Cinematography During Post-Production
21. Kodak - Lighting Dances With Wolves
Dean Semler (Road Warrior, City Slickers, Dead Calm) demonstrates the
techniques that won him an Academy Award for the cinematography of
Dances With Wolves. Dean's background in documentary films is a major
influence on his visuals. This workshop recreates the lighting of an interior
fireside scene from Wolves, using an exact replica of the teepee set. The
workshop footage was shot anamorphical, using a Panavision camera and
a crane. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: Dean discusses and demonstrates:
wide screen composition, relationship between lighting design and coverage
and the best use of high speed film stocks in low light situations.
22. Kodak - Lighting Dead Poets
John Seale (Rainman, Gorillas in the Mist, Witness) conducts an intensive
and inspirational lighting workshop in the studios of the Australian Film,
Radio and Television School. The dormitory set from Dead Poets Society
was painstakingly reconstructed for this workshop. Even more important
than the technical knowledge it contains is the insight this program gives
into Seale's working philosophy.
23. Kodak - Shooting For B&W
Allen Daviau, ASC (The Falcon and The Snowman, Avalon, Bugsy,
Twilight Zone, The Color Purple) takes students back to the golden age
of cinematography - the 1920's. He painstakingly recreates the shooting
style by employing the filtration, vignetting, aspect ratios and shot coverage
of the period. In doing so he evokes the spirit and dynamic of the
B&W silent screen masterpieces. Denis Lenoir (Monsieur Hire, Daddy
Nostalgie/These Fooling Things, Paris Awakes Shuttlecock) creates an
intriguing comparison to the work of Daviau by using modern cinematic
techniques featuring a moving camera. He shoots with both color and
B&W stock to make the comparison complete.
24. Kodak - Shooting For Drama
Robby Muller's credits include Repo Man, Paris Texas, To Live and Die
in L.A., Peter James Shot Alive!, Rich in Love and Driving Miss Daisy.
Both were given the same script and set constraints. The beautiful images
they created reflect their different backgrounds and philosophies on the
art the business of filmmaking. Muller creates a moody and impressionistic
feel that is characteristic of his approach. James on the other hand
neatly sidesteps the problems caused by cyc too close to the set and
creates a wider view of the windswept dusty cafe. Both men prove to be
generous teachers, sharing many creative and technical insights that come
from years behind the camera. The video culminates with a split screen
comparisons of each cinematographer's finished piece.

BBC The day india burned partition
Documentary about the effects of Britain's withdrawal
from India in 1947 which triggered one of the biggest
migrations in history. 15 million were displaced and more
than a million lost their lives. The story is told through the
testimony of people who lived together for centuries, but
were forced out of their homes as one of the largest and
most ethnically diverse nations in the world was divided.
Dramatised reconstructions evoke some of the mistrust,
violence and upheaval that ensued.
BBC The First World War
I was eagerly looking forward to this ten episode, four DVD set (8 hours
and 23 minutes in all) based on the claims on the box of previously unseen
film footage and newly accessible archival material from Central and Eastern
European sources and most especially the ties to a book by a "professor"
(presumably of history - Hew Strachan). Unfortunately, as assembled
(in an initially promising chronological format) by BBC 4, there is little or
no pretense of objective history and far too many omissions and distortions
in the service of a strictly British viewpoint. The over all effect, despite
copious quotations from participants on all sides, is like a history of
World War II's "D-Day" told entirely from Field Marshall Montgomery's
aide de camp's viewpoint.

I normally don't write in, but I worked on Scariest Places, and these people
were truely scared out of their wits. The hard part was taping what they were
scared of - hence most of the footage is of them just screaming - but a couple
of them got so scared they pee'd their pants. Imagination, maybe. But these
people were not faking. They saw something, and yes, they were scared.
